Tonight I'm posting from beautiful Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Though I've had no time to paint, we're having a great time. We went on a long hike yesterday in GlacierNP on Trail of the Cedars to Avalanche Lake. The scenery was breathtaking, the hike challenging and so worth it! The painting posted is the last of my finger puppet paintings and my favorite.

Here's the second of three finger puppet paintings. The saturated color and plush fabric was so fun to paint! We're on our way to Glacier National Park today. Spent the whole day driving and have one more day to go. I'm hoping to find time to paint and post if there's wi-fi. This will be our first visit there and we've heard it's beyond beautiful, so we're really excited!

Something Fishy SOLD

This is a little finger puppet I've had for years. Bought him/her? and two others when I was teaching elementary school. While painting I kept thinking about all those women news anchors getting their lips plumped with collagen! The plush material is fun to try to capture.

"I Wub You" SOLD

oil on linen panel 8x6 inches

Immediately upon entering the jar, Mr. Goldfish planted a fish kiss on Butterfly. I documented the event on canvas, and now it's all over the internet :-).
